Today is all about the future and your choice in that future.  Life is the ultimate choose your own adventure and this is the most perfect example of that. If you decide that your future is doomed, it is.  If you decide that your future is bright and full of opportunities, your head will be held high enough to be able to see those opportunities when they arise.   However if your perception of the future is dependent on aspects of reality that are out of your control then you are ensuring a life of undue strife and struggle. 
So now is the time,  Choose winning converts over winning arguments.  Choose pursuing purpose over pursuing cutting down your enemies.  Think like Daryl Davis - the man who converted KKK members by treating THEM like they were humans.
The dehumanization of the opposing side is what backs us all deeper into our own echo chambers.  The realization that we all have common core beliefs and principles is the way forward if we want to come back together as a nation.
